Part A --
Now that the sub will be shared equally among 5 people, will each person get more or less sub? Briefly state why you think so.

First, he divides one piece into 5 equal parts and shares it, then the next one, and so on.
What fraction of the party size sub did each person get after all the parts were shared out? Briefly explain your reasoning.
